Open Beeta Playtest
If you haven't heard of Steam Playtest, it's essentially just a new way that Steam lets devs do playtests of their game without having to mess around with keys. You sign up to join the Playtest, then when it's available Steam randomly picks a bunch of people who have signed up to give them access to the game! You can sign up right from the APICO Steam page (and maybe give it a lil wishlist if you haven't already while you are there? :D) [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1390190/APICO/]Sign up here! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1390190/APICO/
Now the game is feature + content complete we are still picking away at a few little bits but overall the core game is done! (yippee). We're still getting things like the localisation added and setting up things for consoles, but in terms of the full game it's all there and waiting to bee explored! We want to take this time to get any feedback from players - what isn't obvious, what was boring, what was confusing etc, as well as find any major bugs that we've overlooked.
Obviously at this point any major features or ideas won't be added right now (although we have plans for future content), this is more just for sense checking and bugs and also giving some people the opportunity to play further than the demo!
The Playtest will run from the 30th August to 12th September - we'll also be running our proper QA with Whitethorn at the same time so you can expect little updates during the Playtest to fix any major breaking issues too! After that we'll be closing the Playtest so we can take on any feedback, make any changes, fix a hella lot of bugs, and finally prepare ourselves for the console slog. We can't wait to see what you all think of the full game, good luck and bee good! Love, Ell & Jamie <3

About Us
APICO is being created by two brothers, Elliott & Jamie, inspired by their love of old Minecraft mods, casual, and crafting games. They wanted to make something relaxing, intriguing, and semi-educational (just don't think about the Water Bees). Elliott builds nice things and Jamie makes sure he breaks them.
